		<description><![CDATA[The Clubman in the Mini line of cars has at least two paradise ads floating around the Internet.&#160; The scenes look like this: You can see that&#160; no dolphins, flamingoes, or hairy-chested men in Speedos were spared from these fantastic line-art displays. Here is the speedboat/dolphin version: &#160; And here&#8217;s the Speedo/airplane/flamingo/metal-detector version: &#160; In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you remember that new palm tree species from Madagascar?&#160; It&#8217;s the one that essentially flowers itself until it dies.&#160; Well, it&#8217;s apparently so different from any other palm species, that they had to create a new genus classification to make room for it on the tree family tree.&#160; More here with another picture and [...]]]></description>

The headine that linked to this was, of course, that &#34;coconuts kill more Americans each year than terrorism.&#34;&#160; We must stop the killing. Of course, the Joel Best publishing through the University of California Press says that they don&#8217;t.&#160; Or more precisely: &#34;Do 150 people actually die in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people on Madagascar realized recently that a large palm tree that grows to a height of 66 feet actually blooms every hundred years.&#160; Even more dramatic is the humongous tree-like &#34;bloom&#34; that pops out of the top of the palm tree: This one is so weird that it&#8217;s begging for some bad jokes to [...]]]></description>
